BIO
My career has spanned agencies including Wieden & Kennedy, KesselsKramer, Uncommon Studio, Anomaly, and Studio 99 (David Beckham’s in-house agency), as well as global network agencies WPP JWT/Santo and McCann London.
As Executive Creative Director at Santo, I led the Vodafone Global account, and as Creative Director
at McCann, I worked on campaigns for Pernod Ricard brands, including Chivas Regal and Beefeater Gin.
Recently, I was Creative Director at Anomaly, overseeing Expedia’s Sports Partnerships. I led and developed collaborations between Expedia, Liverpool Football Club, and UEFA, producing multi-channel work across TV, OOH, social, and long-form documentary films featuring sports legends, influencers, and top football talent.
At Studio 99, I developed social-first campaigns and brand platforms for Nespresso and Shark Ninja in partnership with David Beckham.
During my time at Wieden & Kennedy, I played a key role in crafting global campaigns for Coca-Cola’s World Cup sponsorship, Nike, Old Spice, and Vodafone, winning a Gold Cannes Lion for Film and TV.
After eight years at Wieden & Kennedy Amsterdam,
I joined KesselsKramer London as Global Creative Director, where I spent nine years shaping creative teams and campaigns for global clients, including Diageo (Bushmills, J&B, Red Stripe, Pampero Rum, Talisker Whisky), Umbro, Aer Lingus, and KBC Bank.
I am a highly collaborative, hands-on creative director with a background in design and art direction. I enjoy creating bold, entertaining, and disruptive work with a touch of humor.
